Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

The interviewer asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social if he's worried about splitting the left vote & whether the best way to beat the right is to vote Labour.
Zack: "The idea that the Labour party are on the left is completely incoherent"

A decade later I still don't understand how the response to stuff like this isn't "What the hell is wrong with you?"
COLLINS: Have you called Tim Walz yet?
TRUMP: I don't really call him. He appointed this guy to a position. I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling him ... he's a mess.
